Nice to see. I think I've heard of something similar at various
crowded venues such as fairs etc over here but not a formal regular
service.

OTOH 15 stone of kit?

15 stone? Were you watching a different video to me ? She (Nadia
Sawalaha (?) ) states "over 5 stone of kit"

Actually it was a typo. Still 5 stone is a LOT of kit.

Conjecture :-
Mmm 5 stone = 70lbs Maybe someone said we have to "move" 70 lbs
meaning the bike as well and whoever wrote the script for Nadia has
taken that to mean 70lbs and the bike.

Maybe they meant 5Kg - that's what my panniers normally way. Hope the
ambulance doesn't have to be dispatched to assist run-down cyclist
paramedic any time soon! :-)

Last weeks killer hill in the comic was through the west end in London
by a cycle paramedic. He had to take a considerable amount of kit
(56kg springs to mind).

Seems a bit mad if they dispatch a normal ambulance as well, plus they
only cover 5sq km? Thats an area only 2250mx2250m?! Doesnt seem a lot
when you look at the "quantity of manpower per sq km"?

Mmm looking a wee bit more into it 5 stone of kit plus the bike seems
reasonable.
Here is a photo of the kit they carry, that is a proper oxygen cylinder
and is *£%^!*% heavy.
